The story of Mike Mansfield's influential fifteen-year reign as Senate Majority Leader is colored with some of the most important events of this century: the election of John F. Kennedy, the Kennedy and King assassinations, student and political unrest of the late Sixties, Vietnam, Watergate, the Nixon resignation, and numerous important pieces of legislation from the era, among them the 1964 Civil Rights Act. Valeo, Secretary of the Senate under Mansfield, writes about the Senate and Mansfield's role in national affairs from 1961-76. He argues that Mansfield was instrumental in shaping a more egalitarian kind of Senate than that of the 1950s, when Lyndon B. Johnson was Majority Leader.

The most honorable politician

Reviewed in the United States on August 28, 2000

In short, the book describes the most honorable man ever to hold political office.....either at the State or National level. I am proud not only to know Mike Mansfield, but to be a Montanan as well. Jeanette Rankin, C.M. Russell, and Mike Mansfield......what a trio! God Bless a GREAT American and his lovely wife, Maureen!

Wanted: Thoughtful Pipe-smoker for high-stress job

Reviewed in the United States on June 25, 2000

The book traces the contributions of Micheal Mansfield as Senate Majority leader, emerging from the shadow of LBJ thru the Watergate years.
His work as an instructor at the University of Montana prior to election to Congress, and his longstanding love of good pipes and tobacco proved that inside the Beltway, "A pipe gives a wise man time to think, and a fool something to put in his mouth"
